Chapter 1
6 a.m
Seoul, South Korea.
Exalted trees along the trails forming the morning air, fresh and sharp. Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale. His chest moved up and down in a rhythm. He kept his breathing steady as he jogged along the trail. As soon as he heard the sound from his watch. He slowed down his pace and checked it. It’s time to go home. He continued jogging until the end of the trail and walk towards his car. “Jungkook Hyung!” A kid called him from behind. He turned his head towards him and smiled. The kid ran towards Jungkook “Are you going home already?” The little boy asked. “Where have you been, long time no see.” Still with a smile on his face, Jungkook mess with the boy’s hair. “Woah, you’ve gotten taller now, soon you’ll be at my height,” Jungkook said. “I hope so. I want to grow up and be just like you.” The boy cheered and Jungkook chuckled. He unlocked his Mercedes-AMG GT. “Whatever you say, little man. I have to get ready for work. You be safe okay?” Jungkook said cheerfully. “Okay Hyung!“. Jungkook waved goodbye and drove off.
He parked the car at the back of his apartment. Jungkook casually went to the elevator and push the 12th-floor button. He got his phone out and checked his messages. Seconds flew by and when the elevator dings, so do the indistinct voices coming from the floor. His eyes swiftly looked up. Men were in front of and inside of his apartment. Jungkook slowly approaches them. One of the men turned around and examine him. Jungkook knew right away that they were police. “Excuse me? I think...” Jungkook was cut. “Mr. Jeon, You are under arrest for murdering...” “Murder!?” Jungkook snapped as he backs up.
“Mr. Jeon I’m detective Park. Please cooperate.” Jungkook’s gaze followed the hands of the detective. He was aiming for his gun. Backing away, Jungkook scanned the stairs exit behind him. As luck would have it, Jungkook’s dog appeared in front of his apartment door. He looked at his dog and whistled. When the husky barks louder than the surroundings, all eyes were on the dog. Jungkook took the chance to ran towards the exit.
Deafening gunfire shoots the exit door. “GET HIM!” The detective yelled. Jungkook almost tripped, with all his strength he ran down the stairs. The officer’s dash for him. “Suspect is on the run. Tall male, about 6 foot, dark hair, black FILA jacket.” The officer informed his radio.
Heartrate speeding, sweat falling. Faster than the lightning, he skipped stairs. When he finally steps on the ground floor, Jungkook dashes towards the back exit and unlocked his car. Jungkook duck when the detective was shooting at him. He got in his car and as swift as an arrow he drove off. “GET THE CAR!!.” Detective park yelled. The police car was parked in front of the building. The detective didn’t even bother waiting for the officer, he ran past them and drive off.
The friction from the tires resonates as Jungkook made a turn. Loud sirens filled the air making everyone on the streets looking at the car chase. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” Jungkook panicked. Steadily pushing the gas, he cuts everyone in front of him. Jungkook drove with one hand while the other was trying to call someone. “SHIT!” He cursed when the line was transferred to a voice call.
“Suspect is heading towards the highway. I need two cars on his side as soon as he enters. I’ll be at the back.” Detective Park gave the order. Sharper than a knife, Jungkook eyed his side mirror and back. He knew what was going on. Other people were giving way to two cop’s cars that were aiming to get beside Jungkook. The detective car was chasing him from behind, but keeping a distance a few meters away. Jungkook hissed. He put the car on sports mode and push the gas harder.
As Jungkook predicted the two cops were almost by his side, speeding as they are near the highway. Less than a hundred meters before the highway, Jungkook instantaneously push the brake paddle and stopped his car. “FUCK!” The detective screamed, he immediately turned his wheels to the left preventing him from crashing onto Jungkooks’ car. The two fast cops beside Jungkook drove past his car. As fast as lightning, Jungkook hit the gas paddle and made a drift, creating smokes from the back of the Mercedes tires. Jungkook took the chance, exiting the highway to the right.
Detective Park banged his steering wheels abruptly. “FUCK!!!!” The detective took the hand mic from the police radio “Suspect is ... SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Detective Park yelled at the cars that were honking at him from behind. “Detective park do you copy?...”
“Forget it we lost him.”
